2012 English Channel Swim

7 - 14 September 2012



After having cycled through Africa, completed 5 Ironman Triathlons, run the Comrades Ultra Marathon, Climbed Kili ... I have decided to take on a slightly tougher option ...



... 34km of cold, open water swimming ... leaving the coast of the eternal "wanna-be" soccer nation, over to the "frogs" on the other side ...

22 years ... first puncture ...

Oh well, another Pick n Pay Cape Argus Cycle Tour has passed ... the one with perfect weather, a good seeding and the perfect chance for a good sub-three.
And ... the first one where i get a puncture ... grrr ;-) So statistically I am overjoyed it has taken so long before I have had one (actually only 2 punctures ever in road races in 24 years), but a pity the sub-3 wasn't in the bag. Still happy with a 3h07.
A good day out in the sun, on the road and having a great cycle ... and knowing i am fit for the Epic torture coming up in under two weeks.
